Project details

Title: Creative Access Tool for Weather and Climate Data (Operational version)
Id: 2222
Acronym: Creative Access Tool
Investigator(s): Marcus Thatcher
CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere - Aspendale [details]

Description: The Creative Access Tool is a web based interface designed for the intelligent retrieval of weather forecast data products. Use of the Creative Access Tool is intended to streamline requests for forecasts data. Such requests include those originating from external customers or internal validation requests (i.e., for improving forecasting models). A pilot study has been underway (2003-2004) to establish the 'proof-of-concept' for the Creative Access Tool. However, the operational version (this proposal) aims to significantly extend the pilot study in the following ways: - Access to 'live' forecast data - Creation of images, netCDF and text files extracted 'on-demand' from the database - Comparison of different datasets (e.g., compare forecasts against observations). - Compatibility with the division's metadata conventions The Creative Access Tool should be viewed as a important component of the Climate Modeling and Applications group, since it facilitates the delivery of weather forecast data products to customers.
Years: 2005 to 2006
